Yes, the people remaining are addicted to/like Twitter. But this is the equivalent of imposing a sin tax on it and it will cost Twitter engagement like sin taxes lower alcohol or smoking.
It will probably lose them even more money as their primary income is ads and lower engagement will drive advertising incoming even lower.
Like all of new X/Twitter's changes, it doesn't seem to have any foresight or insight into the product at all.
